I Hold and I Am Held
Robert Walker
Hebrews 10:22-25
Mike Fagan in 1982 at 6 a.m. on a hot London Sunday morning climbed up a drain to the second floor of Buckingham Palace. The story goes that he found a window open and climbed into that window setting off alarms that usually ignored because they malfunction so often.

The Hebrew writer says we have "Boldness to enter into the Holiest." The Moabite could not enter, nor could the average Israelite. But, today you and I have a place of access; we have the boldness to enter into the Holiest. Our relationship is not without a price, however.
(2) The price of access
"By the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us through the veil, that is to say, his flesh." The veil represents two characteristics of Christ.
The central thrust of the book of Hebrews is the possibility of our access to God. All of the temples in th ...
